Hi

Need help on linker command file command.

Using CodeWarrior 7.3 for DSP56800E

I'm trying to include a binary file in the output via the linker command file directly. The command is INCLUDE filename

I tried the command and it always return to me "file not found"

here the part of my linker file

    .executing_code :
    {
        # .text sections

        * (startup.text)
        * (rtlib.text)                                                         # Run-Time Library
        * (fp_engine.text)                                                     # Floating Point Engine
        * (user.text)                                                          # User Section
        * (.text)                                                              # Any other section .text
        . = ALIGN(4);                
         INCLUDE a.txt
    }

Wathever where I put the a.txt file, it cannot find it. I try to add the path too, samething...

I've try to put my file in the project directory, inker directory, output directory, etc.

So if someone can help, thanks!

Hello again,

with the help of technical support at freescale we were able to use the INCLUDE command in a linker file. So if anyone needs to use it, here's the things you must do and know.

in the settings of the target of the project. Navigate to the file mapping windows.

add you file extension you want to include in the linker file. ex. .bin

Set file flag as a ressource file (compiler is set to None)

Press change button

Close the projects settings window.

add your file in your project. ex. fpga.bin

write in the linker command file as: INCLUDE fpga.bin

so linker module will include your binary file in the output file where you want to have it.

Hope this help others

Thanks,
